Article reports on speeches by retiring GOP Rep. Don Bacon and Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter at Israel Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill on May 5, 2026, where both addressed surging antisemitism in the US.
1)
Bacon highlighted anti-Israel views gaining traction in the Democratic Party and warned of social media misinformation undermining the US-Israel partnership in defense, intelligence, and technology.
2)
Leiter pointed to college campuses as primary centers of anti-Jewish hate, linking it to radical ideologies, language manipulation by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, and narratives denying Jewish historical ties to Israel post-Oct. 7 attacks.

🧵"[DOJ] has demanded [via a federal grand jury subpoena] the identities of every worker who staffed the 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., according to court records...

The demand targets employees of Fulton County elections as well as volunteer poll workers..."
1/n Image
"...workers, who likely numbered in the thousands during the 2020 election."

"It is not known what the Justice Department intends to do with the names of election workers."

I mean, my first guess would be interview them.

"The county received the grand jury subpoena for workers’ names on April 20, according to court records. The existence of the subpoena became public on Monday evening, when lawyers for Fulton County filed a motion attempting to block it."

BREAKING: I asked Claude to upgrade my LinkedIn profile.

It didn’t just “upgrade” it. It turned it into a recruiter magnet.

Here are the exact 7 prompts I used:
1. Authority Content Ideas

"Give me 15 LinkedIn post ideas that position me as an expert in [your niche] and attract inbound leads."
2. Profile Strategy Audit

"Act as a LinkedIn personal branding strategist. Audit my current profile and identify why it's not attracting inbound leads. Be brutally honest."

I want to share how this was uncovered for anybody who feels physically off in the hopes it may help...

I'm years into this existing and it was incidentally uncovered last September.

Here's what the doctors missed beginning in 2024 and what I'd do different ⬇️
At the beginning of 2024 as I began going viral with "Choose Rich", my body was feeling off.

I had a rash appear on my ankles and it was quite itchy.

The rash continued to expand up my body and for months I was the most uncomfortable I have ever felt physically in my life...
Went to multiple dermatologists to identify what was wrong.

They tested and treated for scabies, STDs (wasn't), contact dermatitis (wasn't), did allergy patch testing (nothing), and finally concluded "Eczema"...

By October 2024 I was prescribed Dupixient to help...

Trump DOJ opposes the release of SPLC grand jury transcripts, but what the memo *doesn't* say speaks volumes. Feds don't dispute the SPLC's account of the Trump admin's "gross misrepresentations" about the informant program.

Instead, the US Attorney says that's "not relevant."

Why that matters.🧵Moreover, the public comments in question—whether the SPLC ever shared information obtained by its field sources with law enforcement—are simply not relevant to the charges in the indictment. This case is about fraudulently obtaining money from donors, lying to banks, and concealing payments to the same organizations the SPLC publicly told donors they were fighting against. (Doc. 1 at 3–6). What, if anything, the SPLC did with the information it obtained through field sources is not relevant to the charges.
The SPLC's motion seeking the grand jury records rattled off a series of "false statements" by Trump and his surrogates about Charlottesville and the informants program.

The group said info gathered there thwarted a terrorist attack and led to arrests. allrisenews.com/p/splc-tipped-…
Debunking Trump's revisionist history of Charlottesville, SPLC said it handed the FBI a 45-page “Event Alert” with informant-gathered information.

The dossier tipped off agents about the names, photos, criminal histories and "weapons of choice of the people there."

This might be the end of Roblox.

🧵 Image
For years, The roblox community kept the company alive and were happy to be apart of it with love.

>Players support Roblox by playing games and creators, providing a fandom.
>Developers support Roblox by making games/assets/UGC and giving out innovative and creativity.
>Creators gives support by providing content and keeping it alive.Image
However, Roblox has a record of being anti-creators and affecting developer's incomes with each updates.

> Roblox removing/changing that have directly affecting games to break.
> Roblox falsely moderating Creator's items (UGC) and assets without any notice.
> Roblox unable to communicate clearly with Developers (Events) and changing things at the last minute.

Even if Developers try to give out feedback and their opinions, Roblox double down and doesn't listen, they're willing to throw them out of the train if it mean to profit towards the company.Image

Dave, given that you were one of the big promoters/defenders of the Jake Tapper/Alex Thompson Original Sin book (& associated news cycles), now that we have the benefit of hindsight, do you feel vindicated?

Did you guys get anything wrong there?

Just wondering, for journalistic accountability sake...Image
Thank you for the smug response. Would expect nothing different.

It's actually a wild how little that entire book had vs how it was treated by the political media. The biggest bombshells were he didn't immediately recognize George Clooney and his aides feared that if he fell he could have to use a wheelchair.

The premise was that there was some massive cover up and it just did not deliver. But they all pretended like it did.

Today was the 2nd day of the 57th 9/11 pretrial hearings at Guantanamo Bay. Image
None of the four defendants attended this morning. Mr. Mohammad joined in the PM.
Prosecutor Trivett offered arguments on the motion to suppress statements made by Khalid Shaikh Mohammad to the FBI in Jan 2007 after 3.5 years of incommunicado detention and torture in CIA black site custody.

🚨An Iranian official told me Trump’s post is “riddled with falsehoods” and his operation to “liberate” the Hormuz Strait “failed completely.”

“We will not participate in direct negotiations until the United States formally announces the end of the blockade,” said the official.
The U.S. did send messages via Pakistan indicating the U.S. does not intend to carry out direct military action in the Persian Gulf and is seeking direct talks with Iran. Seems Trump wants to have it both ways, find a way to move ships thru while claiming he still has a blockade.
It’s always important to remember that twice in a year, the U.S. claimed to be negotiating with Iran and then launched massive military assaults just before another scheduled round of talks was to take place.

@TrentTelenko @grok Once again, Trent, when you stray from your area of expertise you generate smoke and misunderstanding rather than insight. There is a lot more than improved trauma response going on in the drop in murder rates, though to be sure trauma care does play a role. 1/
@TrentTelenko @grok We can gain insight into this by examining crime and criminal justice broadly, rather than focusing on one crime - murder - and one factor - trauma care.

Depending on time periods & locations studied, we can see that increased clearance rates, violence interruption efforts 2/
@TrentTelenko @grok targeted enforcement, community stabilization and social support efforts all have played a role.

We can also see, not just a drop in murder rates, but a drop in a wide variety of other crimes. 3/counciloncj.org/whats-driving-…

May 5th 2022🗓️

We found out Biden was using the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building across from the White House because the Oval Office couldn’t have a teleprompter installed Image
Throughout the entirety of his “presidency” he was known to stumble over his words even while reading from a teleprompter
The report from his aides said ⤵️

“Biden’s team prefers the fake WH. stage built in the Old Exec Office Building next door for events, sacrificing some of the power of the historic backdrop in favor of an otherwise sterile room that was outfitted with an easily read teleprompter screen”

The reduction in murder deaths -IS NOT- due to law enforcement, or reductions in underlying rates of violence.

It is due to the fact that medical care has improved such that the same gunshot wound inflicted in 2015 is 1/3 as lethal as 1960.

Murder rate🧵
1/
Homicide statistics since the early 1960s are not comparable to earlier periods because medical advances have turned many fatal injuries into survivable ones.

See the CDC report below⬇️


2/
There are four major medical trauma care changes since 1960 reducing murder rates:

1. Trauma centers established ~1961.

2. Standardized trauma procedures ~1978.

3. Adoption of military (Korea/Vietnam) emergency treatment, air transport, and improved triage ~1986.
